    Easy, eco-friendly favors your guests will LOVE! These DIY succulent favors make beautiful gifts for guests, double as a place card, and are easy to make! That’s what we like to call a triple win.

    You can find succulents in many sizes via Etsy. We love the miniature succulents above (I’ve decided succulents are even 10x cuter in miniature form) but there are many sizes of succulent cuttings available via The Succulent Garden, for example:

    Then, add potting soil to small mason jars (similar decorative jars can be found here), thread a ribbon through a place card and tie around the jar. Beautiful!

      Gotta love usable favors – guests can actually reuse them after the wedding in a variety of ways. And, charming? Agreed!

      Hi Autumn,

      Yes! Great point. I was there recently and definitely noticed the vast array of succulents. Thanks for the comment! :)

      Hi,

      do succulents really come in miniatures, naturally? I use to raise them in a greenhouse, small one, along with other plants. They were so easy. What kind of soil do you plant them in, I use to use cactus soil I believe, water only when soil was dry. What’s new in succulents? Flo
